About Ys

Pronounced WISE, Ys is an online community for the wise: people who have lived a while, experienced much and are still keen to learn and grow.

We believe that:

Healthy living requires a strong sense of community

We all have a role in creating the world we need

Every human being has a story to tell -- and the right to be heard

Small business needs assistance combatting giants

It is possible and desirable to trade entirely ethically

Communities are good for consumers and business

YsPeople is a safe place to stay informed, learn new things, experience the unexpected, make friends and have a laugh. It is the place to express your views, share ideas and take a stand on things that matter to you, with the community's support.
